1/10

Chiliwerk is handmade, small-batch chilli from a Berlin native, no artificial preservatives or thickeners, and by its own account a Silver medallist at the 2025 European Hot Sauce Awards. Kai Kolipost leads here with the crossover of the year: a Hot Honey built on Aji Amarillo chillies and Brandenburg beekeeper honey, drizzled the way US pizzerias now do it.

For press

Story angles

  • A Berlin native making handmade, small-batch chilli with no artificial preservatives, from regional suppliers.
  • Hot honey, the US crossover condiment breaking out of the chilli aisle: onto pizza, grilled cheese, even yogurt with granola and berries.
  • His Hot Honey pairs Aji Amarillo with Brandenburg beekeeper honey, a gentle 1/10 that wins over the heat-avoiders.
